Big fans of Coldplay, but can’t wait for the release date of their new album? Well, you still can’t get it until the release date, but you can get the track list. Just grab your local newspaper and flip through it until you reach the classified ads section.
Yup, they did it. The Coldplay marketing team have found themselves a creative and unique way of advertising the band’s new album by posting the entire track list in our local newspapers – The Star, The Sun and Sin Chew Daily.
It’s not only in Malaysia however, as it has been happening all over the world with multiple people reporting the same phenomenon happening to their local newspapers. The ads in question feature no coloured decoration; just a classy plain black and white text that shows all the tracks from the upcoming album, titled “Everyday Life”.
The album was initially announced earlier this week, when the band mailed typed notes to 500 Coldplay fan all over the world. In the letter, they wished the receiver well and then announced their new upcoming album as well as the release date, with them also hand-signed each letter at each corner.

1. “Sunrise” – Disc 1
